About the Anniversary of the Nagasaki Bombing in Japan
China Japan & Korea
Ends: Aug 09, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
The United States of America dropped two atomic bombs on Japan in 1945, one on Hiroshima and the other on Nagasaki. Today is the anniversary of the second.
Tragically, Nagasaki was not the first choice of target for the US Air Force. The original target was shrouded in smoke and cloud cover that day, so Nagasaki was the backup. The irony expands when one realizes that Nagasaki had the largest Christian population in Japan at the time.
From the Nagasaki Atom Bomb Museum:
"An atomic bomb exploded over Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, three days after the explosion of the first atomic bomb over Hiroshima. The bomb was assembled at Tinian Island on August 6.
On August 8, Field Order No.17 issued from the 20th Air Force Headquarters on Guam called for its use the following day on either Kokura, the primary target, or Nagasaki, the secondary target.
That same day, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. The B-29 bomber "Bockscar" reached the sky over Kokura on the morning of August 9 but abandoned the primary target because of smoke cover and changed course for Nagasaki, the secondary target, where it dropped the atomic bomb at 11:02 AM."
